170 THE GEORGIA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY.

On the twenty-sixth of April, Memorial Day, Mr. Otis
Ashmore and the editor of the Quarterly visited Sylvania,
in Screven County, by invitation. In compliance with pre-
vious announcement Mr. Ashmore addressed the people on
the importance of preserving history, and asked for the co-
operation of the citizens with the Georgia Historical Society
in the work of collecting and preserving material relating to
the history of the whole State. The editor made a short
talk, chiefly to the Confederate Veterans.

They were cordially received, and found the people much
interested, many of them expressing a desire to assist in the
work and to become members of the Society, several mak-
ing application for membership.

After dinner, which consisted of all sorts of good things
to eat, a trip was made, by automobile, over the points named
in connection with the battle of Brier Creek, fought during
the Revolution, and which Mr. Ashmore discussed in his
address.

The names of all the good people who were especially
kind to the visitors are too many to be listed; but Judge
Overstreet, Mrs. E. K. Overstreet, Dr. G. M. Overstreet,
and Messrs. W. M. Hobby, W. J. Walker and J. E. Twitty
deserve a place here. The last named has made and pub-
lished a splendid map of Screven County, and presented a
copy to the Historical Society. In a letter to the editor he
pledges his support in these words : "I hope ere long to report
to the Society something that will be of material advantage

to it Mr. Hobby, editor of our paper here, who

accompanied us on our trip to the old battle grounds

has agreed to collaborate with me in the work."

ART NOTES.

The recently organized "Telfair Art Association of
Savannah" has for its chief object the establishment and
maintenance of an art school, under the auspices of The
Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The proposed school is to be called "The Telfair School
of Applied and Fine Arts," a name which indicates the wide
scope of the school and expresses its obligation to Miss
Telfair and to those who are carrying out the wishes of the
donor in so liberal a spirit.

The Association is composed of people interested in the
movement from many different points of view, including
artists and art lovers ; public spirited citizens who feel that

Savannah offers unusual opportunities to the student of
art ; and those who wish to see the city advance along educa-
tional and cultural lines.

The fact that the South, in spite of her great industrial
awakening, has no well established Art School between Bal-
timore and New Orleans, seems to make Savannah the logical
place and this an opportune time for the creation of one.

The recent visit of Mr. Henry Turner Bailey of Boston,
gave a great impetus to local interest in matters of art, and
added enthusiasm to the plans for the Art School, by three
separate lectures which he delivered at the Academy to large
and delighted audiences. Mr. Bailey's subjects were "The
Enjoyment of Pictures," "The Enjoyment of Colour," and
"The Enjoyment of Common Things," making us under-
stand more fully the relation of art to daily life.

The Telfair Academy has subscribed generously to the
School and gives the use of its Studios for classes. It affords
still further encouragement and inspiration by the offer of
its fine old building with its splendid collection of pictures
and sculpture as the home of the new movement.

While the Association has been obliged to abandon all
hope of opening the Art School immediately on account of
present war conditions, the interest in it is being kept alive
and the preliminary arrangements are all completed; the
school could be opened at any time that the Board of Mana-
gers consider advisable.

In the meantime a small but enthusiastic sketch class
meets at the Academy twice a week to draw and paint from
the model; the interest is thus stimulated and much good
work is being accomplished.

QUERIES AND ANSWERS.

In the March number we answered "Anxious Inquirer"
concerning the officers of Oglethorpe's regiment, and, in addi-
tion to the names of those who were first commissioned, gave
two more not mentioned in the list taken from the "Book of
Army Commissions." Of course changes were made from
time to time. We now add to those who should have a
place on the roll of honor Lieutenants Charles MacKay and
Cadogan, Ensign Gibbon, and Ensign Stuart who was first a
Sergeant but was promoted to the rank of Second Ensign
for distinguished service. Patrick MacKay is mentioned in
such terms as to make it appear that he was probably an
officer.
